I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive
By Hank Williams


Capo 1

           F
Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad

I had lot's of luck but it's all been bad
   C7
No matter how I struggle and strive
                                  F
I'll never get out of this world alive


My fishin' pole's broke the creek is full of sand
My woman run away with another man
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

  Bb                            F                     F7
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
    Bb                                 Bb7
And I was living high until that fatal day
         C7
A lawyer proved I wasn't born
                    
I was only hatched

Everything's agin' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would probably drown
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

These shabby shoes I'm wearin' all the time
Are full of holes and nails
And brother if I stepped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickel I could tell you if it was heads or tails.

I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
'Cause nothin's ever gonna be alright no-how
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive

I could buy a Sunday suit and it would leave me broke
If it had two pair of pants I would burn the coat
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.

If it was rainin' gold I wouldn't stand a chance
I wouldn't have a pocket in my patched up pants
No matter how I struggle and strive
I'll never get out of this world alive.
